Music of the Tsars, St. Martin’s Chamber Choir September 27, 2009

St. Martin’s Chamber Choir’s exciting 16th season opens with Artistic Director Timothy Krueger’s survey of Russian choral music from the 12th to the early 20th centuries, exploring the richly varied and contrasting styles that have been part of the great Orthodox tradition. The program features works by Kalinnikov, Tchaikovsky, Cui, Tolstiakov, Bortniansky, Rachmaninov and others.

St. Martin’s Chamber Choir is an independent professional choral ensemble based in Denver, Colorado. The 24-voice group, founded in 1994 by Artistic Director Timothy J. Krueger, is known for its imaginative, scholarly programming and superb choral blend. The choir does not have any religious affiliation, having taken its name from the site of its first performance, St. Martin’s Chapel at Denver’s St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral. St. Martin’s has released multiple highly acclaimed recordings, and is heard on classical radio stations around the United States.
